I cannot install (not from CD nor from floppy) FreeBSD 4.0 on my IDE hardisk (QUANTUM LPS170A; 170MB, geometry:1011/15/22). Install cannot create filesystems, it ends with "bad magic number" or "tryed to mount R/W to /mnt that is RO,..."

Verison FreeBSD 2.2.8, linux and DOS, ... love my disk....

How-To-Repeat: I think problem is in "ata" driver

Not a bug report, empty PR. 

Please send mail to questions@FreeBSD.org 

(and in the future choosing "critical" severity and "high" priority 
and deeming this a kernel problem is probably not wise, when the 
problem is most likely hardware or PEBKAC)
